3.00The charcuterie, cheese, and wine were very good. Two of the four offerings were desserts (ice cream and brioche) that did not seem unique to Lyon. For the price, it was too much for too little. The guide gave it his all and I seem to be the lone critic. I ones evaluation depends on travel and cuisine experience.
Knowledgeable guide!

5.00This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Maude, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She has an obvious passion for Lyon and its culinary importance. She is well versed on the history of the region which made it seem like more than just a food centered tour. She explained to us the historical and geographical importance of the city between stops, introducing us to traboules and how they came to be and shape Lyon.
Tasty food

5.00Nathalie was an excellent guide. She was funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. I wish we had done the tour the first day we were in Lyon because then we could have really taken advantage of Nathalie's local recommendations. I'd consider this tour a must for anyone visiting Lyon for the first time.
Yeah, good!

5.00Nathalie was a perfect guide! We took great pleasure in knowing some small addresses of old Lyon. The historical parts were also very interesting. It was very nice for us who have just moved to Lyon now more than a month ago. We recommend it and we will definitely come back to it for more ideas for tours! Thanks again Nathalie! Happy New Year's Eve!
